Description

  The present invention relates to an air conditioner having a dehumidifying function, and more particularly to an air conditioner that reduces frost formation on an evaporator.

  A conventional air conditioner having a dehumidifying function includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator, and a defrost heater. The refrigerant is filled in the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner. The refrigerant compressed by the compressor becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant and is sent to the condenser. The refrigerant that has flowed into the condenser is liquefied by releasing heat into the air. The liquefied refrigerant is decompressed by the expansion valve to become a gas-liquid two-phase flow state, gasified by absorbing heat from ambient air in the evaporator, and flows to the compressor. In particular, in a refrigerated / refrigerated warehouse, since the temperature must be controlled to be lower than 10 ° C., the evaporation temperature is lower than 0 ° C. For this reason, frost was generated in the evaporator and the cooling capacity was reduced. Therefore, a heater is attached to the evaporator and the defrosting operation is periodically performed. As a result, extra energy is consumed, causing a reduction in the efficiency of the air conditioner. Furthermore, after the defrosting operation, the temperature in the freezer / refrigerated warehouse increased, the load of the air conditioner increased, and the power consumption increased.

Therefore, a method is disclosed in which a refrigerant refrigerator and a moisture adsorbing means are combined, the moisture in the air flowing into the evaporator (heat absorber) is removed in advance by the moisture adsorbing means, and the defrosting operation is eliminated.
That is, the air dehumidified by the desiccant rotor which is a moisture adsorption means is supplied to the evaporator (heat absorber). On the other hand, in order to desorb and regenerate moisture in the desiccant rotor that has absorbed moisture, high-temperature air heated by a condenser (heat radiator) is supplied to the desiccant rotor (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-241893 (pages 6 to 8, FIG. 2)

In a conventional air conditioner having a dehumidifying function, zeolite or silica gel is used as a solid adsorbent provided on the surface of a desiccant rotor. In the case of using zeolite as the solid adsorbent, FIG. 1 shows the water equilibrium adsorption characteristics of zeolite (see Non-Patent Document 1). As can be seen from FIG. 1, in order to efficiently desorb and regenerate the moisture adsorbed on the zeolite, it is necessary to supply air having a relative humidity of several percent or less. In order to reduce the relative humidity of the air, it is necessary to heat the air to a high temperature. Therefore, assuming that the heat dissipated in the condenser becomes relatively high, CO ₂ (carbon dioxide) is used as the refrigerant, and a refrigeration cycle is used in which the compressor compresses above the critical pressure of CO ₂ . The high pressure compressed by the compressor is about 100 to 150 [kgf / cm ² ], which is about twice that of a refrigeration cycle that does not exceed the normal critical pressure using HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) as a refrigerant. In order to ensure the pressure resistance of the compressor, the condenser, and the piping connecting them, the product cost will increase. In addition, since the regeneration temperature of the solid adsorbent is as high as about 150 ° C., it is necessary to increase the air temperature at the condenser outlet, which increases the compression ratio of the compressor and lowers the efficiency of the compressor.

  Moreover, about the case where a silica gel is used for a solid adsorbent, it is known that a silica gel has two types of adsorption characteristics (refer nonpatent literature 2). About what has the characteristic similar to a zeolite in which the water absorption rate increases in a region where the relative humidity is low and the absorption rate is saturated in a region where the relative humidity is high, there is a problem similar to the case where the silica gel is used. In addition, for those with characteristics that the absorption rate is low in the region where the relative humidity is low and the absorption rate is high in the region where the relative humidity is high, in the relative humidity in the range where the moisture absorption rate is low, the air conditioning space where the relative humidity is different In addition, there is a problem that there are restrictions on dehumidification by repeated adsorption and desorption.

A heater having a dehumidifying function by a moisture adsorption unit, heating air supplied to reduce the refrigeration load and regenerate the moisture adsorption unit is provided. It is an object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner that does not require high-pressure compression of a refrigerant when it is unnecessary or when air is heated using the condensation exhaust heat of a condenser.

  The air conditioner according to the present invention provides an equilibrium adsorption amount of moisture at a relative humidity in a first range between a first relative humidity and a second relative humidity that is higher than the first relative humidity. The first moisture adsorbing means whose rate of change is greater than the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount at a relative humidity outside the first range, and the first moisture adsorbing means are driven so as to be relative to the first relative humidity. First driving means for alternately positioning the first air-conditioned space having a low humidity and the second air-conditioned space having a relative humidity higher than the second relative humidity and a dry bulb temperature lower than that of the first air-conditioned space; The rate of change in the equilibrium adsorption amount of water in the second range between the third relative humidity and the fourth relative humidity that is higher than the third relative humidity is the second range. A second moisture adsorption means larger than the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount at the external relative humidity; The second moisture adsorbing means is driven so that the relative humidity is lower than the third relative humidity and the dry bulb temperature is higher than that of the first air-conditioned space. Second relative driving means, and the relative humidity of the first air-conditioned space is higher than the fourth relative humidity.

  The air conditioner according to the present invention has an equilibrium adsorption amount of moisture at a relative humidity in a first range between the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity that is higher than the first relative humidity. The first moisture adsorbing means having a rate of change larger than the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount at a relative humidity outside the first range, and the first moisture adsorbing means are driven, and the first moisture in the first conditioned space is driven. A first driving means that is alternately positioned in the air flow path and the second air flow path in the second air-conditioned space whose dry bulb temperature is lower than that in the first air-conditioned space; the third relative humidity; The rate of change in the equilibrium adsorption amount of water at a relative humidity that is in the second range between the fourth relative humidity that is higher than the relative humidity of 3 is the equilibrium adsorption amount at a relative humidity outside the second range. The second moisture adsorption means and the second moisture adsorption means that are larger than the change rate of the Second driving means for alternately positioning the third air flow path in the third space whose temperature is higher than that of the first air-conditioned space and the fourth air flow path in the first air-conditioned space; And the relative humidity of the first air flowing into the first moisture adsorption means is lower than the first relative humidity, and the relative humidity of the second air flowing into the first moisture adsorption means is the second relative humidity. Higher, the relative humidity of the third air flowing into the second moisture adsorbing means is lower than the third relative humidity, and the relative humidity of the fourth air flowing into the second moisture adsorbing means is the fourth It is higher than the relative humidity.

According to the air conditioner of the present invention, the second air, which is the air in the second air-conditioned space whose relative humidity is higher than the second relative humidity, is supplied to the moisture adsorbing means to adsorb the moisture, and the driving means Moves the area of the moisture adsorbing means that has adsorbed the moisture, and the first air, which is the air in the first air-conditioned space whose relative humidity is lower than the first relative humidity, is moved to the area of the moisture adsorbing means that adsorbs the moisture. To the refrigerator that reduces the absolute humidity of the second air-conditioned space and keeps the second air-conditioned space at a low temperature by supplying and repeating the adsorption of the moisture of the second air and the desorption of the moisture of the first air It is possible to eliminate frost formation. In addition, it is sufficient to position the moisture adsorbing means in the first space whose relative humidity is lower than the first relative humidity to desorb and regenerate the moisture adsorbed on the moisture adsorbing means, and heat the first air. Thus, there is no need to reduce the relative humidity, and unlike the case of heating air with a heater, power consumption for heating the heater is unnecessary and energy saving can be achieved.
In addition, a first conditioned space, a second conditioned space having a dry bulb temperature lower than that of the first conditioned space, and a third space having a dry bulb temperature higher than that of the first conditioned space are provided, and the first conditioned space is provided. Since the first and second moisture adsorbing means are provided between the first and second conditioned spaces, the first conditioned space and the third space, respectively, the second conditioned space does not flow directly into the second conditioned space. When air flows into the first conditioned space, the refrigeration load in the second conditioned space can be reduced.

According to the air conditioner of the present invention, the second air having a relative humidity higher than the second relative humidity is supplied to the moisture adsorbing means to adsorb the moisture, and the driving means absorbs the moisture of the moisture adsorbing means. Moving the adsorbed area, the first air having a relative humidity lower than the first relative humidity is supplied to the area where the moisture of the moisture adsorbing means is adsorbed. By repeating the desorption of moisture from the air, the absolute humidity of the air-conditioned space having the second air is reduced, and frost formation on the refrigerator that keeps the air-conditioned space having the second air at a low temperature can be eliminated. .
In addition, it is sufficient to place the moisture adsorbing means in the first air flow path whose relative humidity is lower than the first relative humidity in order to desorb and regenerate the moisture adsorbed on the moisture adsorbing means. It is not necessary to reduce the relative humidity by heating the air, and unlike the case where the air is heated by the heater, power consumption for heating the heater is unnecessary and energy saving can be achieved.
In addition, a first conditioned space, a second conditioned space having a dry bulb temperature lower than that of the first conditioned space, and a third space having a dry bulb temperature higher than that of the first conditioned space are provided, and the first conditioned space is provided. Since the first and second moisture adsorbing means are provided between the first and second conditioned spaces, the first conditioned space and the third space, respectively, the second conditioned space does not flow directly into the second conditioned space. When air flows into the first conditioned space, the refrigeration load in the second conditioned space can be reduced.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of the air-conditioning apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining the driving state of the moisture adsorbing means, which is the main configuration of the air-conditioning apparatus according to this embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an example in which the air conditioner is applied to a freezer / refrigerator warehouse is shown. The refrigerated warehouse is composed of two rooms, a front room 100a corresponding to the first space and a freezer room 100b corresponding to the second space. The front chamber 100a is a first air-conditioned space, and the dry-bulb temperature, which is the air temperature of the air-conditioned space, is −20 ° C. and the relative humidity is 40%. On the other hand, the freezer compartment 100b is a second air-conditioned space, and has a dry bulb temperature of −40 ° C. and a relative humidity of 100%.
The front chamber 100a is provided with a front chamber air-conditioning means (not shown) for maintaining the dry bulb temperature and relative humidity of the front chamber 100a at −20 ° C. and 40%, respectively.

  Next, the configuration of the air conditioner will be described. In FIG. 2, the air conditioner includes a desiccant rotor 1 as a first moisture adsorbing means, a motor 3 as a first driving means for moving the desiccant rotor 1, and a front chamber 100a as a first air-conditioned space. Desiccant is the fan 2a that is the first blowing means for supplying the first air 4a that is air to the desiccant rotor 1 and the second air 4b that is the air in the freezer compartment 100b that is the second air-conditioned space. The fan 2b is a second blowing means for supplying to the rotor 1. As the fan 2a and the fan 2b rotate, an air flow is formed so that the first air 4a and the second air 4b pass through the desiccant rotor 1, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, the desiccant rotor 1 has a cylindrical shape, and is rotated in the direction of the arrow 5 by the motor 3 to move between the front chamber 100a and the freezing chamber 100b with time.

  FIG. 4 shows the moisture adsorption characteristics of the solid adsorbent provided in the desiccant rotor 1 which is the moisture adsorbing means which is the main configuration of the air-conditioning apparatus according to this embodiment of the present invention. The solid adsorbent is a porous silicon material provided with many pores of about 2.5 nm (nanometers). In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents the relative humidity of the air-conditioned space, and the vertical axis represents the equilibrium adsorption amount of moisture. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the solid adsorbent used in the present embodiment has a slope that is the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount of moisture relative to the relative humidity in the range of 45% to 60% relative humidity, less than 45% or 60%. It is larger than the slope, which is the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount of moisture relative to the relative humidity in the range exceeding%. That is, the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity are 45% and 60%, respectively. The first relative humidity and the second relative humidity can be increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the pore diameter of the solid adsorbent.

Next, the operation will be described.
In the region where the second air 4b in the freezer compartment 100b is supplied to the desiccant rotor 1, the relative humidity in the freezer compartment 100b is 100%, so the moisture contained in the second air 4b is shown in FIG. Adsorb until the equilibrium adsorption amount is reached. The region on the freezing chamber 100b side of the desiccant rotor 1 that has reached the equilibrium adsorption amount at point B is driven to the region where the first air 4a in the front chamber 100a is supplied by driving the desiccant rotor 1 by the motor 3. Moving. Since the relative humidity of the front chamber 100a is 40%, in the region where the first air 4a of the desiccant rotor 1 is supplied, moisture is supplied to the first air 4a until the equilibrium adsorption amount at point A shown in FIG. Detach. The moisture desorbed to the first air 4a increases the absolute humidity in the front chamber 100a, but the front chamber air-conditioning means maintains the dry bulb temperature and the relative humidity in the front chamber 100a at −20 ° C. and 40%, respectively. . Therefore, the front chamber air conditioning means dehumidifies the moisture desorbed to the first air 4a. The area on the front chamber 100b side of the desiccant rotor 1 that has reached the equilibrium adsorption amount at point A is the area where the second air 4b in the freezer compartment 100b is supplied again by driving the desiccant rotor 1 by the motor 3. Move to. In this way, the moisture in the freezer compartment 100b is transferred to the front chamber 100a side, and the moisture transferred to the front chamber 100a is dehumidified by the front chamber air conditioning means. By repeating this operation, the inside of the freezer compartment 100b is dehumidified.

  The above operation will be described using an air diagram. FIG. 5 is an air diagram for explaining the operation of the air-conditioning apparatus according to this embodiment of the present invention. 2, 3, and 5, the state of the air before passing through the desiccant rotor 1 is (3) with respect to the second air 4 a that passes through the desiccant rotor 1 on the front chamber 100 a side, and the state of air just after passing through Is (4). Further, with respect to the first air 4b passing through the desiccant rotor 1 on the freezer compartment 100b side, the state of air before passing through the desiccant rotor 1 is (1), and the state of air immediately after passing is (2).

  First, the operation in which the desiccant rotor 1 adsorbs moisture in the freezer compartment 100b will be described. The air in the state (1) has a dry bulb temperature of −40 [° C.], an absolute humidity of 0.1 [g / kg], and an enthalpy of −9.6 [kcal / kg]. The air in the state (1) is dehumidified by the desiccant rotor 1 along the isoenthalpy line from a relative humidity of 100% to 40%, for example, and an absolute humidity of 0.1 [g / kg] to 0.05 [ g / kg], the dry bulb temperature rises from −40 [° C.] to −39.8 [° C.], and the air in the state (2) is blown into the freezer compartment 100b.

  Next, an operation in which the moisture adsorbed on the desiccant rotor 1 is desorbed on the front chamber 100a side will be described. In the front chamber 100a, the air in the state (3) has a dry bulb temperature of −20 [° C.], an absolute humidity of 0.25 [g / kg], and an enthalpy of −4.7 [kcal / kg]. The air in the state (3) is increased in humidity from 40% to 100%, for example, along the isoenthalpy line by the desiccant rotor 1, and the dry bulb temperature is from -20 [° C] to -21 [° C]. Then, the absolute humidity is increased from 0.25 [g / kg] to 0.55 [g / kg], and the air in the state (4) is blown into the front chamber 100a. Air having a relative humidity of 100% blown into the front chamber 100a is diffused, and moisture contained in the air having a relative humidity of 100% is dehumidified by the front chamber air conditioning means.

  Although the relative humidity of the air in the state (2) is 40%, the present invention is not limited to this, and the relative humidity of the air in the state (2) is determined by the amount of moisture adsorbed by the desiccant rotor 1. The greater the amount of moisture adsorbed, the more moisture transferred to the front chamber 100a. Moreover, although the relative humidity of the air in the state (4) is 100%, the present invention is not limited to this, and the relative humidity of the air in the state (4) is determined by the amount of moisture desorbed by the desiccant rotor 1. The greater the amount of moisture that is desorbed, the more moisture that is adsorbed by the desiccant roller 1 on the freezer compartment 100b side.

  Thus, since the air conditioning apparatus in the present embodiment can dehumidify the inside of the freezer compartment 100b, frost formation on the refrigerator that keeps the freezer compartment 100b at a low temperature can be eliminated. Moreover, since the value of 1st humidity and 2nd humidity can be set suitably by selecting suitably the diameter of the pore of the solid adsorbent provided in the desiccant rotor 1, the 1st which transfers a water | moisture content The degree of freedom for setting the temperature and relative humidity of the air-conditioned space and the second air-conditioned space is increased. Further, when the relative humidity of the front chamber 100a is lower than that of the freezing chamber 100b, the moisture adsorbed on the desiccant rotor 1 can be desorbed without supplying heater-heated air.

  The air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 configured as described above is in the first range between the first relative humidity that is low humidity and the second relative humidity that is higher than the first relative humidity. The rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount of water with respect to the relative humidity is larger than the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount with respect to the relative humidity outside the first range of the relative humidity, and the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity are 30%. First moisture adsorbing means in a range of 60% to 60%, second air supplying means for supplying second air to which moisture is adsorbed by the first moisture adsorbing means, and moisture adsorbed by the moisture adsorbing means The first air blowing means for supplying the first air for desorbing the air and the driving means for changing the region to which the first air and the second air are supplied by driving the moisture adsorbing means. The second relative humidity is higher than the second relative humidity. The second air that is air in the air-conditioned space is supplied to the moisture adsorbing means by the second air blowing means to adsorb the moisture, and the drive means moves in the area where the moisture adsorbing means adsorbs the moisture, The area where the first sending means adsorbs the moisture of the first moisture adsorbing means to the first air which is the air in the first air-conditioned space which is kept at a higher temperature than the space and has a lower relative humidity than the first relative humidity. Refrigerator that reduces the absolute humidity of the second air-conditioned space and keeps the second air-conditioned space at a low temperature by repeating the adsorption of the moisture of the second air and the desorption of the moisture of the first air. It is possible to eliminate frost formation on the surface. Moreover, since the 1st relative humidity and the 2nd relative humidity can be suitably selected in the range of 30%-60%, the freedom degree which sets the temperature and relative humidity of a 1st air conditioning space and a 2nd air conditioning space is large. Become. Furthermore, since the first relative humidity is at least 30%, air having a relative humidity of about 30% is sufficient to desorb and regenerate the moisture adsorbed on the moisture adsorbing means, and heat the first air. Thus, it is not necessary to reduce the relative humidity, and unlike an apparatus that heats air with a heater, an air conditioner that does not require power consumption for heating the heater and can save energy can be obtained.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of the air-conditioning apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining the driving state of the moisture adsorbing means, which is the main configuration of the air-conditioning apparatus according to this embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an example in which the air conditioner is applied to a refrigerated warehouse is shown. The refrigerating room 200b in the refrigerating warehouse is the second air-conditioned space, and the dry bulb temperature, which is the air temperature of the air-conditioned space, is 10 [° C.], the relative humidity is 40%, and the absolute humidity is 3 [g / kg]. The outside is the outside air side 200a which is the first air-conditioned space, the dry bulb temperature is 23 [° C.], the relative humidity is 95%, and the absolute humidity is 17 [g / kg]. The outside air side 200a is an open space, and the dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, and absolute humidity are maintained at 23 [° C.], 95%, and 17 [g / kg], respectively.

  Next, the structure of the air conditioning apparatus in this Embodiment is demonstrated. In FIG. 6, the air conditioner includes a refrigeration unit 20 in addition to the same configuration as that described in the first embodiment. That is, the desiccant rotor 6 that is a moisture adsorbing means, the motor 8 that is a driving means for moving the desiccant rotor 6, and the first air 9a that is the air on the outside air side 200a that is the first air-conditioned space are sent to the desiccant rotor 1. A fan 7a serving as a first blowing means for supplying, and a fan serving as a second blowing means for supplying second air 9b, which is air in a refrigerator compartment 200b serving as a second air-conditioned space, to the desiccant rotor 6. In addition to 7b, R404A, which is an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) -based refrigerant, is enclosed, and includes a refrigeration unit 20 including a compressor 20a, a condenser 20b, an expansion valve 20c, which is a throttle device, and an evaporator 20d. The refrigerant may be R407C, R410A or the like. As the fan 7a rotates, the first air 9a exchanges heat with the condenser 20b and forms an air flow so as to pass through the desiccant rotor 6. Further, when the fan 7b rotates, the second air 9b passes through the desiccant rotor 6 and forms an air flow so as to exchange heat with the evaporator 20d. Moreover, the compressor 20a compresses without exceeding the critical pressure for the refrigerant of R404A. Further, the condenser 20a is arranged on the windward side of the first air 9a with respect to the desiccant rotor 6 which is a moisture adsorbing means. Further, the evaporator 20d is arranged on the windward side of the second air 9b with respect to the desiccant rotor 6 which is a moisture adsorbing means. As shown in FIG. 7, the desiccant rotor 6 has a cylindrical shape, is rotated in the direction of the arrow 10 by the motor 8, and moves between the outside air side 200 a and the refrigerator compartment 200 b with time.

  FIG. 8 shows the moisture adsorption characteristics of the solid adsorbent provided in the desiccant rotor 6 which is the moisture adsorbing means that is the main configuration of the air-conditioning apparatus according to the present embodiment of the present invention. The solid adsorbent is a porous silicon material provided with many pores of about 1.5 nm (nanometers). In FIG. 8, the horizontal axis represents the relative humidity of the air-conditioned space, and the vertical axis represents the equilibrium adsorption amount of moisture. As can be seen from FIG. 8, the solid adsorbent used in the present embodiment has a slope that is the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount of water relative to the relative humidity in the range of 30% to 40% relative humidity, or less than 30% or 40%. It is larger than the slope, which is the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount of moisture relative to the relative humidity in the range exceeding%. That is, the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity are 30% and 40%, respectively. The first relative humidity and the second relative humidity can be increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the pore diameter of the solid adsorbent.

  Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 9 is an air line diagram for explaining the operation of the air-conditioning apparatus according to this embodiment of the present invention. 6 and 9, the state of the air before passing through the desiccant roller 6 is (5) with respect to the second air 9b passing through the desiccant rotor 6 on the refrigerator compartment 200b side, and the air immediately after passing through the desiccant roller 6 (6) and the state of air immediately after heat exchange with the evaporator 20d is (7). In addition, for the first air 9a passing through the desiccant rotor 6 on the outside air side 200a, the state of the air on the windward side of the condenser 20b is (8), and the state of the air immediately after heat exchange with the condenser 20b is (9 ), Let the state of the air immediately after passing through the desiccant roller 6 be (10).

  First, the operation in which the desiccant rotor 6 adsorbs moisture in the refrigerator compartment 200b will be described. The air in the state (5) has a dry bulb temperature of 10 [° C.], a relative humidity of 40%, and an absolute humidity of 3 [g / kg]. The air in the state (5) supplied to the desiccant rotor 6 is dehumidified from 40% to 30%, for example, along the isoenthalpy line, and the absolute humidity ranges from 3 [g / kg] to 2.5 [ The air is dehumidified to g / kg], and the dry bulb temperature rises from 10 [° C.] to 11.8 [° C.] in the state (6), and goes to the evaporator 20d. As shown in FIG. 8, since the solid adsorbent provided in the desiccant rotor 6 has a large amount of moisture that can be adsorbed in the region where the relative humidity is 40% or more, the air in the state (5) can be dehumidified. The air in the state (6) is heat-exchanged by the evaporator 20d, is cooled by removing only sensible heat in a state where the absolute humidity is constant, the relative humidity is less than 100%, and the dry bulb temperature is −5 [° C.]. It becomes air of a state (7). In order to prevent the refrigeration means 20 from defrosting by frosting the evaporator 20d, the dry bulb temperature of the air in the state (7) is higher than the dew point temperature in the air of the state (6). The opening degree of the expansion valve 20c, the rotational speed of the compressor 20a, the rotational speed of the fan 7b, and the like are adjusted. The air in the state (7) is diffused into the refrigerator compartment 200b, and the dry bulb temperature of the refrigerator compartment 200b is maintained at 10 [° C.]. Further, the moisture adsorbed on the desiccant rotor 6 is moved to the outside air side 200a by the motor 8 and is desorbed on the outside air side 200a as will be described later.

  Next, an operation in which moisture adsorbed on the desiccant rotor 6 is desorbed on the outside air side 200a will be described. The air in the state (8) has a dry bulb temperature, which is air temperature, of 23 [° C.], a relative humidity of 95%, and an absolute humidity of 17 [g / kg]. The air in the state (8) supplied to the condenser 20b is heat-exchanged and heated in the condenser 20b, and only sensible heat is applied with a constant absolute humidity, and the dry bulb temperature rises to 44 [° C.]. The air in the state (9) in which the relative humidity is reduced to 30% is supplied to the desiccant rotor 6. It adjusts with the rotation speed of the expansion valve 20c, the compressor 20a, the rotation speed of the fan 7a, etc. so that the condensation temperature of the condenser 20b may be 44 [degreeC]. The air in the state (9) supplied to the desiccant rotor 6 is increased in relative humidity from 30% to 40% along the isoenthalpy line, and the absolute humidity is from 17 [g / kg] to 18.5 [g. / Kg], the air is in a state (10) in which the dry bulb temperature is lowered from 44 [° C.] to 40 [° C.], and is released to the outside air side 200a. If air in a state (9) in which the relative humidity is 30% is supplied to the desiccant rotor 6, the amount of water that can be held by the solid adsorbent provided in the desiccant rotor 6 is 40% or more as shown in FIG. Since it becomes extremely smaller than the amount of water in the region, it is possible to release moisture into the air on the outside air side 200a. The region of the desiccant rotor 6 from which moisture has been desorbed is moved again into the refrigerator compartment 200b by the motor 8. By repeating this operation, the inside of the refrigerator compartment 200b is dehumidified.

Although the relative humidity of the air in the state (6) is 30%, the present invention is not limited to this, and the relative humidity in the state (6) is determined by the amount of moisture adsorbed by the desiccant rotor 6. The greater the amount of moisture adsorbed, the more moisture transferred to the outside air side 200a. Moreover, although the relative humidity of the air in the state (10) is 40%, the present invention is not limited to this, and the relative humidity of the air in the state (10) is determined by the amount of moisture desorbed by the desiccant rotor 6. The greater the amount of moisture that is desorbed, the more moisture that is adsorbed by the desiccant roller 6 on the refrigerator compartment 200b side.

  Thus, since the air conditioning apparatus in this Embodiment can dehumidify the inside of the refrigerator compartment 200b, the frost formation to the evaporator which keeps the refrigerator compartment 200b at low temperature can be eliminated. In addition, since the moisture adsorption means in which the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity are in the range of 30% to 60% is used, the moisture adsorption means is regenerated using the condensed exhaust heat in the refrigeration cycle that does not exceed the critical pressure. it can. Moreover, the value of 1st humidity and 2nd humidity can be set suitably by selecting suitably the diameter of the pore of the solid adsorbent provided in the desiccant rotor 6. FIG. Further, when the outside air side 200a has a relative humidity higher than that of the refrigerator compartment 200b, moisture adsorbed on the desiccant rotor 6 can be desorbed by supplying air heated by a condenser.

  In the above description of the second embodiment, the condenser is arranged on the windward side of the first air with respect to the moisture adsorption means on the outside air side. However, if the relative humidity on the outside air side is lower than that of the refrigerator compartment, Similarly, the moisture adsorbing means can be regenerated without heating the first air.

  Further, the evaporator is disposed on the leeward side of the second air with respect to the moisture adsorbing means on the refrigerator compartment side. It is not necessary to arrange in.

  The air conditioner according to Embodiment 2 configured as described above is suitable for relative humidity in the range of the first relative humidity that is low humidity and the second relative humidity that is higher than the first relative humidity. The change rate of the equilibrium adsorption amount of moisture is larger than the change rate of the equilibrium adsorption amount with respect to the relative humidity outside the range of the relative humidity, and the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity are in the range of 30% to 60%.

And the condenser is arranged on the windward side of the first air with respect to the moisture adsorbing means, so that the second conditioned space is kept at a low temperature and has a higher relative humidity than the second relative humidity. The second air, which is the second air, is supplied to the moisture adsorbing means by the second air blowing means to adsorb the moisture, and the driving means moves in the area where the moisture adsorbing means adsorbs the moisture. The first air that is air in the first air-conditioned space maintained at a high temperature and lower in relative humidity than the first relative humidity is supplied to the area where the moisture is adsorbed by the first sending means. By repeating the adsorption of the moisture of the second air and the desorption of the moisture of the first air, the absolute humidity of the second air-conditioned space is lowered and the frost on the evaporator that keeps the second air-conditioned space low is reduced. It can be eliminated. Moreover, since the 1st relative humidity and the 2nd relative humidity can be suitably selected in the range of 30%-60%, the freedom degree which sets the temperature and relative humidity of a 1st air conditioning space and a 2nd air conditioning space is large. Become. In addition, since the first relative humidity is at least 30%, air having a relative humidity of about 30% is sufficient to desorb and regenerate the moisture adsorbed on the moisture adsorbing means, and the air is heated by a heater. Unlike the above, since the first air is heated using the heat radiation of the condenser arranged on the windward side of the first air, power consumption for heating the heater is unnecessary. Furthermore, since the refrigerant does not exceed the critical pressure in the compressor in the refrigerant circuit, the pressure resistance of the compressor, the condenser, and the piping connecting them can be reduced, reducing the product cost and suppressing the compression ratio of the compressor. As a result, the efficiency of the compressor can be improved and energy can be saved.

  In addition, the rate of change in the equilibrium adsorption amount of water relative to the relative humidity in the range of the first relative humidity that is low humidity and the second relative humidity that is higher than the first relative humidity is outside the range of relative humidity. Moisture adsorbing means having a rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount with respect to relative humidity in the water and having a first relative humidity and a second relative humidity in the range of 30% to 60%, and moisture adsorbing by the moisture adsorbing means Second air supply means for supplying the second air to be supplied, first air supply means for supplying the first air for desorbing the water adsorbed by the water adsorption means, and the water adsorption means for driving the first air. A refrigerant comprising a driving means for changing a region to which the air and the second air are supplied, and a compressor filled with the refrigerant and compressing the refrigerant without exceeding the critical pressure, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator Circuit, the evaporator is a moisture adsorption means On the other hand, since the second air is disposed on the leeward side of the second air, the second air blowing means keeps the second air that is air in the second air-conditioned space maintained at a low temperature and higher in relative humidity than the second relative humidity. Water is supplied to the adsorption means to adsorb moisture, and the drive means moves in the area where the moisture adsorption means adsorbs moisture, and is kept at a higher temperature than the second air-conditioned space and has a lower relative humidity than the first relative humidity. The first air that is the air in the first air-conditioned space is supplied to the area where the first sending means has adsorbed the moisture of the moisture adsorbing means, and the adsorption of the moisture of the second air and the moisture of the first air By repeating desorption, it is possible to reduce the absolute humidity of the second air-conditioned space and eliminate frost formation on the evaporator that keeps the second air-conditioned space at a low temperature. Moreover, since the 1st relative humidity and the 2nd relative humidity can be suitably selected in the range of 30%-60%, the freedom degree which sets the temperature and relative humidity of a 1st air conditioning space and a 2nd air conditioning space is large. Become. In addition, since the first relative humidity is at least 30%, air having a relative humidity of about 30% is sufficient to desorb and regenerate the moisture adsorbed by the moisture adsorption means, and the first air is heated. Thus, it is not necessary to reduce the relative humidity, and unlike the case where air is heated by a heater, power consumption for heating the heater is unnecessary. Furthermore, since the refrigerant does not exceed the critical pressure in the compressor in the refrigerant circuit, the pressure resistance of the compressor, the condenser, and the piping connecting them can be reduced, reducing the product cost and suppressing the compression ratio of the compressor.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of the air-conditioning apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The present embodiment is a combination of the air conditioner having the configuration shown in the first embodiment and the air conditioner having the configuration shown in the second embodiment, and is applied to a refrigerated warehouse.
Usually, the freezer warehouse is composed of a front room 100a and a freezer room 100b. The reason why the front chamber 100a is provided is that if a person or a lift enters the freezer compartment 100b directly from the outside, outside air or moisture enters the freezer compartment 100b, and the freezer installed in the freezer compartment 100b frequently defrosts. Operation and refrigerating capacity is significantly reduced. In order to solve this, the front chamber 100a is provided, dehumidification and cooling are performed in the front chamber 100a in advance, and the air in the front chamber 100a flows into the freezing chamber 100b, thereby reducing the freezing load of the freezing chamber 100b. Yes. However, since the air from the outside air side 200a directly enters the front chamber 100a, the defrosting operation of the refrigerator installed in the front chamber 100a frequently occurs. The present embodiment is applied to such a freezer warehouse, and eliminates the defrosting operation that frequently occurs in the front chamber 100a.

  The dry bulb temperature, the relative humidity, and the absolute humidity, which are the temperatures of the freezer 100b, are −40 [° C.], 100%, and 0.1 [g / kg], respectively, as in the first embodiment. The dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, and absolute humidity of the front chamber 100a are −20 [° C.], 40%, and 0.25 [g / kg], respectively, as in the first embodiment. The dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, and absolute humidity on the outside air side 200a are 23 [° C.], 95%, and 17 [g / kg], respectively, as in the second embodiment.

  In FIG. 10, the configuration of the first air conditioner 30 that transfers the moisture in the freezing chamber 100b corresponding to the second space to the front chamber 100a corresponding to the first space is the first embodiment shown in FIG. The configuration is the same. Moreover, the structure of the 2nd air conditioning apparatus 40 which transfers the water | moisture content of the front chamber 100a to the external air side 200a equivalent to 3rd space is the same as the structure of Embodiment 2 shown in FIG. In addition, the water | moisture-content adsorption | suction characteristic of the solid adsorbent provided in the 1st water | moisture-content adsorption | suction means which is a part of 1st air conditioning apparatus 30 is the same characteristic as FIG. In addition, the moisture adsorption characteristics of the solid adsorbent provided in the second moisture adsorption means that is a part of the second air conditioner 40 are the same as those in FIG.

Next, the operation will be described.
The operation of the first air conditioner 30 is the same as the operation described in the first embodiment.
The operation of the second air conditioner 40 will be described with reference to the air diagrams of FIGS. 10 and 11 because the air-conditioning environment of the refrigerator compartment 200b in the second embodiment is different from that of the front chamber 100a in the present embodiment.

  10, the state of the air before passing through the desiccant roller 6 is (11) with respect to the third air 9b passing through the desiccant rotor 6 on the front chamber 100a side, and the state of air immediately after passing through the desiccant roller 6 is shown. (12) Let the state of the air immediately after heat exchange with the evaporator 20d be (13).

The air in the state (11) has a dry bulb temperature of −20 [° C.], a relative humidity of 40%, and an absolute humidity of 0.25 [g / kg]. The air in the state (11) supplied to the desiccant rotor 6 is dehumidified from 40% to 30%, for example, along the isoenthalpy line, and the absolute humidity is from 0.25 [g / kg] to 0. The air is dehumidified to 18 [g / kg], and the dry bulb temperature rises from −20 [° C.] to −19.7 [° C.] as air in the state (12) toward the evaporator 20d. Since the solid adsorbent provided in the desiccant rotor 6 has a large amount of moisture that can be adsorbed in a region where the relative humidity is 40% or more as shown in FIG. 8, the air in the state (11) can be dehumidified. The air in the state (12) is heat-exchanged by the evaporator 20d, is cooled by removing only sensible heat in a state where the absolute humidity is constant, the relative humidity is less than 100%, and the dry bulb temperature is −32 [° C.]. It becomes air of a state (13). In order to prevent the refrigeration means 20 from defrosting by frosting the evaporator 20d, the dry bulb temperature of the air in the state (13) is higher than the dew point temperature in the air of the state (12). The opening degree of the expansion valve 20c, the rotational speed of the compressor 20a, the rotational speed of the fan 7b, and the like are adjusted.
In addition, about the operation | movement which transfers the water | moisture content in the front chamber 100a to the external air side 200a, it is the same as that of the operation | movement described in Embodiment 2. FIG.

  Thus, by providing an air conditioner combined with a moisture adsorbing means in a freezer / refrigerated warehouse, it has become possible to eliminate the defrosting operation that has frequently occurred in the past and reduce power consumption. Furthermore, since the moisture adsorbing means can be regenerated with the condensed exhaust heat that has been thrown away into the air-conditioned space, it is possible to desorb the moisture adsorbed on the moisture adsorbing means without reducing the air volume of the regeneration heater or the condenser 20b. , Can save energy.

The air of the second air-conditioned space with high The air is supplied to the moisture adsorbing means by the second air blowing means to adsorb the moisture, and the driving means is moved in the area where the moisture adsorbing means is adsorbed to be kept at a higher temperature than the second air-conditioned space. The first air, which is air in the first air-conditioned space whose relative humidity is lower than the relative humidity of 1, is supplied to the area where the moisture adsorbing means has adsorbed the moisture, and the moisture of the second air By repeating the adsorption of the water and the desorption of the moisture of the first air, it becomes possible to reduce the absolute humidity of the second air-conditioned space and eliminate frost formation on the refrigerator that keeps the second air-conditioned space at a low temperature. .

Become. Furthermore, since the first relative humidity is at least 30%, air having a relative humidity of about 30% is sufficient to desorb and regenerate the moisture adsorbed on the moisture adsorbing means, and heat the first air. Thus, it is not necessary to reduce the relative humidity, and unlike an apparatus that heats air with a heater, an air conditioner that does not require power consumption for heating the heater and can save energy can be obtained.

  In addition, the rate of change in the equilibrium adsorption amount of water relative to the relative humidity in the range of the first relative humidity that is low humidity and the second relative humidity that is higher than the first relative humidity is outside the range of relative humidity. A moisture adsorbing means in which the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity are in the range of 30% to 60%, which is greater than the rate of change of the equilibrium adsorption amount relative to the relative humidity in A second air supply means for supplying the second air to be adsorbed; a first air supply means for supplying the first air for desorbing the water adsorbed by the water adsorption means; Drive means for changing the region to which the first air and the second air are supplied, and a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, and an evaporator filled with the refrigerant and compressing the refrigerant without exceeding the critical pressure With a refrigerant circuit and a condenser that absorbs moisture In contrast, since the second air blowing means supplies the second air, which is the air in the second air-conditioned space, which is kept at a low temperature and has a higher relative humidity than the second relative humidity.

By repeating the desorption, it is possible to reduce the absolute humidity of the second air-conditioned space and eliminate frost formation on the evaporator that keeps the second air-conditioned space at a low temperature.
